The renovations are complete….take a look at our shiny new Tundra Buggy Gift Shop. A great big thank you to the entire crew for all their hard work!
Lots of new items have been added to the shop.
Be sure to stop by soon.
As you can see from the pictures we’ve got lots of new items in the shop as well. When you’re in Churchill, be sure to stop by. Don’t forget, you can also shop online at www.polarbearstuff.com.
In 2009, long-time WWF volunteer Wanda Hall won the Earth Hour contest and traveled to Churchill with Frontiers North Adventures to see polar bears and other wildlife.
Wanda has travelled far and wide to see animals in the wild, but she said that this trip in particular, getting to see polar bears in their natural environment, made her realize how important it is that we decrease our footprint on the earth.
Wanda also happens to be the gal behind WWF’s panda mascot. Read all about Wanda’s adventure as the WWF panda mascot meeting Frontiers North polar bear. http://blog.wwf.ca/blog/2010/07/20/why-i-volunteer-wanda-hall/
We’re thrilled to know that Wanda had such a great experience with us in Churchill.
Well, Loyal Readers, in the last few days the Churchill River broke and Manitoba’s north is springing to life! Hover your cursor over each image for its label.
During May, 2010, Air Canada Australia published an e-mail newsletter featuring our Belugas, Birds and Blooms adventures and sent it nationally to all Australian travel agents.
That’s awesome!
Dr. Andrew Derocher, Polar Bears International Species Expert, discusses with CTV National News Hudson Bay system polar bears and the population-health of this particular group of bears. It’s not good news folks.
On April 24th Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo hosted a Whirl in the Wilderness, this year to celebrate the opening of the Zoo’s Great Bear Wilderness Exhibit. As sponsors of the event we were invited to attend, though unfortunately we weren’t able to do so. What we decided would be a better idea is to ask a loyal guest of Frontiers North who resides in the greater Chicago area to represent us.
John W. has been our guest at Cape Churchill more times than he’s willing to admit and by all accounts he and his partner Anne-Marie did us proud! Thanks John!
We’re on a mission to fill two job postings in our Winnipeg office!

Last month we blogged about our behind-the-scenes look at Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo’s soon to be open Great Bear Wilderness exhibit. We are happy to learn that the exhibit opened this week to rave reviews. The 7.5 acre exhibit is the largest ever built by the Brookfield Zoo and provides the very best in animal welfare, education, and guest experience.
The polar bear exhibit encompasses floor-to-sky viewing windows where zoo guests can peer right in to a polar bear’s world. Much like the Columbus Zoo exhibit, it has an underwater viewing area to see arctic mammals dive into an 80,000 gallon pool.
Check out the great video of Brookfield Zoo’s new exhibit!
In Churchill on Wednesday, May 5th, normally dormant cell phones came to life.
We were hosting a delegation of tour operators from around the globe, when we noticed some folks from the Asian contingent chatting on their phones. “That’s not normal,” we thought to ourselves.
Early reports have signal strength strong in the community and spotty-at-best near the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. We don’t yet know signal strength in Buggyland…
The Columbus Zoo in Ohio opened their brand new Frontier Polar Exhibit today. The $20 million, 1.3-acre state-of-the-art interactive exhibit that will is home to two polar bears, two Alaskan brown bears and arctic fox.
The exhibit encompases a 277,000 gallon still pool, where guests can view the bears from above, at eye-level and from below. It also has lots of rocks, smell ports, dig pits and shelters for the bears.
Check out this great video by CBS with Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium to get a fantastic look at the new exhibit and the bears!
